a friend and i were recently having this conversation. she expressed how much was expected of her that day but all she wanted to do was CHILL....

today that same friend called me...she noticed right away i was busy but proceeded to talk another 15 minutes and seemed offended when i said i had to go.....

it occured to me that i'd done essentially the right thing but still put myself somewhere in there....and more importantly God too! she needed to "vent" about some offenses she'd incurred. i told her that maybe God wasn't able to give her what her heart desired in that situation because she was in offense over not receiving it already. i really needed to eat at that point (diabetic if you don't know and VERY crankywhen i need to be fed, lol!). but i gave her some time anyway. she didn't have much interest at that point in what was going on with me so i just listened. but then i had to go.

i couldn't PLEASE her completely, so i had to please myself...or feed as the case was. my point is....

DO YOUR BEST, AVOID GOSSIP, GIVE A LITTLE MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU CAN ORIGINALLY AND THEN MOVE ON WITH THE PEACE OF KNOWING YOU DID YOUR BEST...even if it didn't meet someone else's expectations.....blessings...

so how this works, according to what crystal did.....tabitha @ fresh mommy (tabithablue.blogspot.com) tagged me so i'm supposed topost a snippet from the closest book to me. since i'm sitting at the computer desk, that happens to be"Jenny Craig's Little Survival Guide."not a bad little book tohave around by the way....chuck full of great tips if you're planning to start dieting,AS AM I, @ the first of the year (i'm feeling a littlede javuhere......LOL).here's a good one......Don't equate willpower with deprivation.Instead think ofwillpower as a positive thing--as in "by managing my weight, I will live a healthier lifestyle...and I will have more energy for family activities."how's that???
